Is a Maine Coon for you?

If your family is looking for a child-loving cat, the sweet and loving Maine Coon will make the perfect addition. Originally, this long-haired breed worked side-by-side on family farms of early settlers where they learned to adapt to human needs.

Sometimes weighing up to 25 pounds, the Maine Coon is considered one of the largest domestic cat breeds. Nevertheless, they are good natured and gentle. They thrive in families with children and other pets, even dogs. Additionally, they are known to be very tolerant and can easily adapt to the needs of children. Maine Coons have a loyalty and special bond to their family, but do not need to be constantly supervised.

Interestingly, Maine Coons are often described as “dog like.” Highly intelligent and easy to train, the Maine Coon will both amaze and entertain a family with their larger-than-life personalities.*
